Hakkinen blames Alonso for feud09.08.2007 14:00 Sports Mika Hakkinen says Fernando Alonso is to blame for the ongoing feud with his McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton. Alonso and Hamilton are no longer on speaking terms after the controversial pit-stop incident in Hungary. "Alonso can't accept such strong competition from a novice," said Hakkinen, who won two world titles for McLaren in 1998 and 1999. "Hamilton has already caused him a number of worries, something that Fernando is struggling to accept." Hamilton, 22, is in his debut season but has confounded expectations to lead the drivers' standings by seven points from reigning champion Alonso. Their already strained relationship broke down completely at the Hungarian Grand Prix at the weekend, at which Alonso was relegated to fifth place on the grid for blocking Hamilton in qualifying. Hamilton went on to win the race, with Alonso coming home fourth, and afterwards the Englishman revealed that the pair had not spoken since.
